Local clothing-only tag sale with BCBG, Marc Jacobs, J. Crew

Meaghan, a reader/Facebook friend told me about this cool local clothing sale, which is designed to be like a garage or tag sale, minus the Tupperware, knick knacks and old coffee tables. These sales are just for clothes, shoes and accessories.

Meaghan and six or seven of her friends (all clothes hounds) pool their clothing and accessories to create two sales on Sunday, June 28 (time and location information below). They’ll have mirrors and little dressing areas set up so you don’t walk away “hoping” something fits or looks good.

All the clothing is brand new or gently worn and includes styles from J.Crew, BCBG, Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, Marc Jacobs, Gap and many more. You’ll find shoes (sizes 6-7.5 at both locations ), accessories and some formal wear as well.

Most items run between $3-10, with higher-end, or new with tags items costing a bit more.

“Several of my friends and I are pretty good shoppers, and have some seriously overloaded closets,” says the reader. “We’ve decided to try a couple of these clothing sales in the Capital Region to make some extra cash and make room for new fall wardrobes (Fall, of course being the best time to shop for new clothes.)”

For those of you who are donation advocates, rest assured the ladies still donate a fair amount to Good Will, but thought “with the economy, this is a win/win situation for the sellers and the buyers. We make a couple of dollars (which we will undoubtedly spend on new clothing, so our funds go directly back into the economy ) and the buyers make out with ridiculously reduced prices for quality clothing.”

Here are the details:

This sounds awesome, and as someone who currently lives in Bethlehem (for another day or two) I would totally go – but unfortunately I’ve been put on a strict budget and these types of awesome things get put under the “frivolous and luxury” category.

Sorry you cant make one of these sales. But I know the one at 11 Everson Way in Ballston Spa has really good name brand clothes that are listed at very affortable prices. Think most stuff goes for like $10

At the 39 Bridle Path, Selkirk sale, there will be clothing sized 2-12, and smalls, mediums, and some larges.

The 11 Everson Way, Ballston Spa, clothes will be smalls, and size 2 and 4. Both have shoes/boots size 6-7.

They are indeed about 30/35 minutes apart, but would make for a great Sunday drive on what might (cross your fingers) be one of our first gorgeous summer days. Make a little day of it…you could stop off in Clifton Park, have a little lunch at Moe’s, go to the Marshalls/Home Good store. Any day that has shopping AND guacamole, is a great day in my book..

Stepped In Deeper Puddles – – YES! Dresses at BOTH sales – good for both weddings and the track. At the Selkirk sale there is a blue/white print strapless J.Crew dress (new with tags, never worn) – perfect for the track and a black Nicole Miller cocktail dress, great for a wedding!!! And I know Ballston Spa has many dresses as well.

Noticed the size range – might there be items in size 14? Have several items (mostly from Talbots with tags on). Can I still bring them to the sale, have them become part of it, or wait til the next sale? Also have many accessories – too numerous to mention.
